There I met and made many new friends, one being Paul Hawkins (a high school math teacher), of whom we will hear more about later.

...

I had kept in touch with Paul Hawkins, my friend from Ventura, who was now in a leadership position with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) at their international base in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.In fact, he was Principal of YWAM's International Christian Schools and head math teacher.Paul requested that I come to Hawaii for the school year of 1978-1979 and teach mathematics.He was going to do a lot of travelling that year and he needed a replacement math teacher.Bethany approved of the idea and I set foot on Hawaiian soil on August 31, 1978.

Paul had an apostolic vision for Christian Education but he could give little practical guidance (he was a pioneer visionary, not a cultivator of that vision).My spirit was "strangely warmed" by this vision and the connection of mathematics to it.Mathematics was back "on my mind."Paul did advise me to get a book entitled Foundations of Christian Scholarship: Essays in the Van Til Perspective.

...

Paul warned me to ignore the "Calvinism" in this book (YWAM was strongly Arminian in theology and a devotee of the theology of Charles Grandison Finney).

2. Peter Frogley, an Australian educator, replaced Paul Hawkins as Principal of the International Christian Schools when Paul left for his frequent trips.

Sometime in 1981 Paul Hawkins had written to me and told about the January 26, 1981 issue of Newsweek magazine.

David had often spoken to them about his friend Paul whom he's met in Thailiand camp and who had been the first person to share the Christian message with him.

When he knew they were going to Hawaii, David got excited, "Maybe I'll meet my friend Paul", he said.

Cody tried to explain Hawaii was a big place and David's chances of meeting his friend Paul weren't very great.

...

One day, Cody was talking on the telephone to Paul Hawkins, director of the International Christian School in Hawaii.

...

"Paul Hawkins, regarding the kids' education", Cody replied.

...

Without saying a word, David jumped up from his seat, ran upstairs and brought back a crumpled piece of paper, "Dad, you say Paul Hawkins", "Yes" David, I've just finished talking to him.
That's that my friend Paul, he said.

And sure enough there on the piece of paper was Paul Hawkins name.
It's perhaps not without coincidence that Paul later became David's eighth grade teacher.

At first David didn't talk a lot about his family and especially his sister, Amina, from whom he had been separated while fleeting for safety.
He'd seen the Communists ravage their home and remove every item of value, watched his father, a commercial fisherman and young brother, whom he loved dearly, die of starvation and had been there as the communists had savagely attacked and killed his mother.

Earlier, her fingers had been brutally cut off after she'd been found salvaging rice from the field.
But as far as he knew, Amina was still alive.
However, all official attempts to locate her in the camp had been in vain.
